Jflsnnrstr speech. TOL-WWr "wasr: niled
to overflowing- The speech was very
jblttle different from Mrr . Bryan's
speeches to -agricultural communities
in other parts of the oottntry: .'. '
"You are about to vote,' he said in
f beginning, "and-by your votes deter-1
mine what you want" in government
and in the way of laws." He took up
the subject of farmi mortgages early in
his talk, but before doing so made a
passing thrust at the trusts, saying on
this latter subject: .
"The republican "party has - been in
power fof four years and during that
time the trusts have increased.. more
rapidly 'than ever before known, and
when republicans tell you , they -want
you to be satisfied with the conditions
they have brought, just remember that
the trust is one of the conditions
brought by the republican party, and
it has no plan nor purpose to rid the
country of the trusts or to protect the
people against them."
He then entered upon his discussion
of the farm' mortgage question:
Reverting to the trusts Mr. Bryan
said:
"I wamt you all-to vote early and
when you get up on election morning
U will probably be dark; you will have
to light a lamp, and just remember .that
you are using oil furnished by the
Standard Oil company, and that the
Standard Oil company is paying this
year a dividend of 50 per cent, $50,000,
000 on $1,000,000 of capital, and the
Standard Oil company is prospering un
der a republican administration. But
look at the prosperity of the Standard
Oil company while your lamp is burn
ing and compare it with the prosperity
of the farmer. Then when you get
your coffee remember that the price of
S coffee is controlled by a trust, ana

that it is controlled by a trust, and" if

Brief stops were made at the towns
of Fairmont and Harvard; and In both
places i Tllri 3ryan made speeches along
the general line and to good crowds. "
' Mr. Bryan agabi.urged his audience
at Fairmont tof vote early
At Hanrard there were a great many
gold badges in the crowd which greeted
Mr. Bryan and there were fewer cheers
t&ere:hB at most places. -' - -; f
. At Holdrege Mr. Bryan devoted hs
attention especially to the trusts, but
gave more or less consideriettida io the
subject of an income tax. He called
attention to the fact -thar ' AbraJham
Lincoln had signed an income tax bill
while he was president and said It was
very strange that a republican farmer
foojBld support a ticket which favors a
policy looking to the exemption of th
wealth of the country from Its just
share of taxation. Mr. Bryan spoke
briefly : in-condemnation of trusts and
an increase in the standing army. He
then referred to the fact that Great
Britain's government in India is often
pointed to as a .model for what the
United States can do in the Philippines
and In that connection said : .
"The republicans tell you England
gets along very nicely tin India. How
does she get along? She sends a gov
ernor over there and makes the peo
ple of India pay $125,000 a year and she
sends an army of 70,000 to keep the
tax colectors in office and wtile she 's
doing that millions of people are starv
in in India because the British taxa
tion is so heavy there that when there
is a poor crop tlhey have nothing at all.
Instead of England sending money to
feed her starving subjects In India she
sends lit to South Africa to kill people
who are willing to die rather than be
come British subjects. And we are so
busy prosecuting a war of conquest in
the Philippines that we cannot express
"our., sympathy with them. Our oppon
ents tell us that if I am defeated the
war will be over, but .that it will sto
on In case I am elected. The republi
cans act now asi if .they thought I wisa
going to -be elected, for they are send

CHARGE OF FELONY
Eerolt of Interference With "Datier of
SnperiHtcttdeniof Elections.
New York,- Nov. 5. Chief of Police
Devery was indicted by the grand jury
today m a charge of felony in attempt?
ing to delay and interfere with Super
intendent of Elections - MeCullagh in
the performance of his duties. He was
notified of the Indictment and . upon ao
pearance before Recorder Goff was re
leased in $10,000 bail. The indictment
was the result of an order issued by
Devery last night urging all the police
to protect the citizens from being "in
timidated" by MeCullagh' s men.. This
MeCullagh construed into a threit,
and went before the grand jury and ob
tained an indictment. Tonight Roose
velt made a demand on Mayor .van
Wyck that unless he had Devery's or
der withdrawn the governor would hold
him responsible as the head of the city
government for Devery's action if it
resulted in any breach or the peace
and intimidation or any crime whatev
er against the election laws. As a re
sult of the governor's letter the mayor
commanded. Devery to revoke his order
of Sunday and require of the police
Iforce hearty co-operation with McCul-
iagh's men. Devery sent out a new
order late tonight to tna't eirect, ana
the election today promises to be the
usual peaceful event.
